Centrify Zero Trust Security Network Partner

DataStax and Centrify Create Business Agility with Secure Apache Cassandra

DataStax delivers Apache Cassandra™ in a database platform that meets the performance and availability demands of Internet-of-things (IoT), Web, and Mobile applications.

It gives enterprises a secure, fast, always-on database that remains operationally simple when scaled in a single datacenter or across multiple datacenters and clouds.

However, DataStax often stores sensitive and business critical data including customer, financial and personally identifiable information (PII), which should be governed by corporate security and compliance policies. Only users with a business need should have access to DataStax environments, least privilege should be enforced, and activity should be audited to satisfy regulatory compliance requirements.

DataStax delivers a production version of Apache Cassandra, DataStax Enterprise (DSE), and the ecosystem to make the vision behind Cassandra a reality. Centrify and DataStax have partnered to integrate the best of both worlds giving customers the ability to easily and securely integrate DataStax into the corporate infrastructure.

“DataStax is being implemented by some of the most demanding enterprises in the world for the most critical real-time use cases. These customers demand integration with their existing identity infrastructure, which is something only Centrify can provide. We have worked with Centrify to help them become a DataStax Certified Partner with jointly supported and documented integration.”

The Centrify Infrastructure Services solution for DataStax Enterprise is an enterprise-grade offering that makes securing even the most complex Apache Cassandra environments simple and straightforward by securely connecting your DataStax cluster to your existing Active Directory. The result is enterprise-wide authentication, access control, privilege management, and auditing.

Secure and simplify NoSQL environments without the hassle of deploying and managing new identity infrastructure. Centrify minimizes costs by eliminating the need for parallel identity management infrastructure — that may not be enterprise ready — and allows you to leverage existing Active Directory skill sets.

Mitigate threats resulting from identity-related risks and address compliance and audit requirements. NoSQL infrastructures store your organization’s most important data. Centrify controls access, manages privileges, audits activity and associates everything back to an individual, thereby making your data more secure. Centrify delivers cost-effective compliance with reporting on who has access and who did what across your data environment.

Increase productivity and security via single sign-on for administrators and users. By extending the power of Active Directory’s Kerberos and LDAP capabilities to your NoSQL clusters, Centrify delivers authentication for administrators and users.
